Move Toward God

Move Toward God "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1st Corinthians 15:58 In our world we are seeing more and more people move away from God and His will, and making compromises to His Word in order to blend in and be acceptable to others. This is a trap of Satan as this behavior has consequences that will lead to an eternity in Hell. God tells us to be immovable. People are making excuses for moving away from God, such as the time we live in today is not the time when Jesus lived, that things have changed and this is a new culture and new lifestyles. These are simply excuses because these people want to live their life in sin, and not obey the Word of God. We see this in politics as our leaders are compromising God's Word in order to win an election. Others are taking the life of innocent babies, because it could cause health problems for the mother. Our laws now makes it acceptable to marry someone of the same sex. This is not the time to be compromising and making excuses to turn away from the Word of God, but now should be the time to move toward the Word of God. It is not going to be long until we hear the trumpets sounding, and will see Jesus returning in the sky to claim the righteous. This is not the time to be making excuses and compromising, but a time for repenting and getting our lives in order. We should be seeking the wisdom of God and trying to get our life in order, before it is too late. The Kingdom of Heaven in drawing closer, and now is the time to stand firm, and stand up for God, not pull away from Him. The world would like for us to become one with it, but as Christians we are to live in the world, but be apart from the world. Now is the time to take our stand for God, and secure our eternity.
